Meals on Wheels seeks volunteers | News, Sports, Jobs

Kaunoa Senior Services’ Meals on Wheels Program is seeking volunteers to help deliver fresh meals to seniors’ homes, the county announced.

Volunteers are needed from 9 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday. They must be able to safely lift at least 20 pounds and have a valid driver’s license as well as a reliable car with current registration, insurance and safety check. Training and delivery supplies are provided. Qualified volunteers are also eligible to receive partial mileage reimbursement.

Meals on Wheels provides critical support to people 60 and older who are homebound and unable to manage their own meal preparation. Home-delivered meals are instrumental in helping seniors maintain an independent lifestyle while living at home, the county said. Seniors are assessed for eligibility prior to receiving the service.

For more information, call Kaunoa Senior Services at 270-7321.
